Recruitment

Join Lerman Lab

We welcome creative, independent researchers interested in neurotechnology and the connections between engineering, biology, and medicine.

Research interests

Machine learning and AI, physiological signal processing, electrical and biomedical engineering, neuroscience, medical devices, materials science, and molecular biology.

Undergraduate research

Opportunities may include part-time research volunteering, ECE 199 credit, and summer research. A GPA above 3.5 is typical; prior research experience and publications are strongly considered.

Graduate and postdoctoral research

Our research spans wearable technology, neural engineering, EEG, EGG, ENG and MEG signal processing, and AI methods for physiological and electronic health record data. Contact the lab about current MS, PhD, and postdoctoral opportunities and available funding.

Relevant preparation includes electrical engineering, bioengineering, or a related field; signal processing and machine learning; MATLAB and Python; clear scientific communication; and the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
